On the very day the Republic of Armenia declared its independence, AUA opened its doors to bright, determined students ready to help shape a nation’s future. Thirty-five years later, AUA and Armenia continue to rise together, bound by a shared journey of resilience and possibility, and united in building a lasting legacy of education, leadership, and hope.

From a pioneering first graduating class of just 53 students to a global community of more than 8,000 alumni, AUA has empowered generations of critical thinkers, ethical leaders, and visionary innovators. Today, AUA graduates are shaping societies and driving progress, serving as public officials and ambassadors, and building transformative ventures, including Armenia’s first unicorn startup.

The AUA 35th Anniversary Gala will bring together alumni, supporters, and friends from across the Armenian diaspora to celebrate AUA’s achievements, recognize the extraordinary individuals who helped bring the University to life, and champion its continued growth and impact.

By joining us, you help pave the way for Armenia's future leaders.
